 The information about stylistic variations in learning,
understanding and producing
language is directly useful for the design, execution and
evaluation of teaching phonetics.
The branch of phonetics most usually applied for such
information is phonostylistics.
 Phonostylistics is a rapidly developing and controversial field of study
though a great
deal of research work has been done in it. It would not be accurate to say
that phonostylistics
is a new branch of phonetics. It is rather a new way of looking at
phonetic phenomena.
Linguists were until recently not aware of this way of analysis and
awareness came only as a
result of detailed analysis of spoken speech
 What gave a mighty impulse to this new way of looking at phonetic phenomena? The
point is that during the first half of the 20th century linguists have shown interest in written
form of the language and so the emphasis in language study was laid on analyzing written
speech. It is only during the last decades that the situation has changed. It may be said that it
was the invention of the tape-recorder and other technical aids that was the real turning point
in phonetics and linguistics in general. Linguists got a good opportunity of studying the other
form of language realization — spoken speech — the variety which had been largely or
completely ignored
Any phonostylistic analysis falls into several steps. Obviously the first
procedure will
be the description of the speech situation which comprises the purpose,
setting and
participants. In reference to this text we may say that this is a
descriptive narrative, the main
purpose of the reader being just to give information, it has no
secondary aim which creates a
definite atmosphere of impartiality, thus the voice timbre is distinctly
resonant, the speaker
sounds dispassionate and rather reserved.
The next step is to define other extralinguistic factors, the
degree of
preparedness among them. The analyzed text may be
characterized as half prepared
or quazispontaneous as it was read through beforehand. Now
to the characteristics on the
prosodic level. One should undoubtedly begin with the
delimitation. The text is split into
phonopassages, then into phrases, then into intonation
groups, correspondingly, the length of
pauses is varied according to the text units. Pauses are made
at syntactical junctures within
the phrase and between them.
 One of the main style differentiating features on the prosodic level is the accentuation
of the semantic centres. It is expressed commonly by terminal tones, pre-nuclear patterns,
pitch range and pitch level degree of loudness on the accented syllables, and also by the
contrast between the accented and non-accented segments of the utterance. In view of this
particular text we may say the following.
